Another question, there are some schools out there that I’m looking into (like UPenn and Brown) that have engineering but not a finance degree. However they do have economics, so would an economics minor give me the ability to go into finance as well?

Harvard does not offer a Finance degree, only an Economics one. I think your question is answered.</p>

“These are both excellent majors. I prefer finance (by a lot), but engineering is very versatile. Sort of like I said in the other thread, if you ever become sure that you want to go into finance then do finance, but if you remain on the fence then engineering leaves your options open down the road.”</p>

<p>Yeah, see I’m really not sure what my preference is yet. That’s why I think I should find a school that (a) offers both engineering and business/economics, and (b) is strong in both fields.

Any school worth learning finance at would have to be so strong in general that it would have a strong engineering program by default.</p>
